| Video Discription | The situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question - Security Council, 9650th meeting. To be held following the adjournment of the 9649th meeting. The Security Council today (10 Jun) adopted a resolution aimed at reaching a comprehensive ceasefire deal in three phases to end the war in Gaza, with US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield telling members "The fighting could stop today." The United States-drafted text calls for Hamas to accept a ceasefire proposal announced on 31 May by President Joe Biden that has already been accepted by Israel. Taking the floor before the vote, Thomas-Greenfield said, “we can help bring about peace by adopting the resolution before us, which calls on Hamas to take the ceasefire deal and urges both parties to fully implement the deals terms without delay and without conditions.” Adopted by a large majority with 14 votes in favour and Russia abstaining, the resolution urges both parties to fully implement the terms of the proposal “without delay and without condition.” Speaking again after the vote, Thomas-Greenfield said “today this Council sent a clear message to Hamas: accept the ceasefire deal on the table. Israel has already agreed to this deal and the fighting could stop today if Hamas would do the same. Russian Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya told the Council that “Hamas is called upon to accept this so called deal, but still there is no clarity regarding official agreement from Israel as is written in the resolution for the deal proposed by President Biden, given the many statements from Israel on the extension of the war until her mass is completely defeated.” Israeli representative Mali Gal for her part said the loss of life in Gaza was “a tragedy, but if you don't put the blame on Hamas, you're advancing their strategy.” Gal said, “Israel stands firm on our principles, and they have not changed. We will continue until all of the hostages are returned and until Hamas military and governing capabilities are dismantled. These have been our goals from day one. Just as President Biden stated on May 31, Hamas must not stay in power. Israel will not Hamas rearm or regroup so that Gaza can pose a threat to Israel. This is the unwavering goal that we are determined to achieve.” The motion envisages three phases to ensure a lasting and comprehensive end to the fighting. Phase one includes an “immediate, full, and complete ceasefire with the release of hostages including women, the elderly and the wounded, the return of the remains of some hostages who have been killed, and the exchange of Palestinian prisoners.” It calls for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from “populated areas” of Gaza, the return of Palestinians to their homes and neighbourhoods throughout the enclave, including in the north, as well as the safe and effective distribution of humanitarian assistance at scale. Phase two would see a permanent end to hostilities “in exchange for the release of all other hostages still in Gaza, and a full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.” In phase three, “a major multi-year reconstruction plan for Gaza” would begin and the remains of any deceased hostages still in the Strip would be returned to Israel. The Council also underlined the proposal’s provision that if negotiations take longer than six weeks for phase one, the ceasefire will continue as long as negotiations continue. In the resolution, the Security Council rejects any attempt at demographic or territorial change in the Gaza Strip, including any actions that reduce the territory of the enclave. The text also reiterates the Council’s “unwavering commitment” to the vision of the two-State solution where two democratic States, Israel and Palestine, live side by side in peace within secure and recognized borders consistent with international law and relevant UN resolutions. “In this regard stresses the importance of unifying the Gaza Strip with the West Bank under the Palestinian Authority,” the resolution added. 43DcdwPQ7Ao |
